Instructions
1
Begin by cutting the boneless pork loin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a shallow dish.
2
In a screw-top jar, combine cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, sage, salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well blended.
3
Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for several hours or overnight, turning the meat occasionally to ensure even marination.
4
Once marinating is complete, drain the excess marinade from the pork and pat the cubes dry with paper towels.
5
Thread the marinated pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
6
In a small saucepan, heat the reserved marinade until it reaches a simmer. This will be used for basting the kebabs during grilling.
7
Preheat your grill or broiler, positioning the rack about 5 inches from the heat source. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 25 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the heated marinade to enhance flavor and moisture.
8
If desired, you can also skewer vegetables such as mushrooms, green peppers, onion wedges, or even apple slices. Brush these with the marinade and grill alongside the pork for 15-20 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Savory Marinated Pork Kebabs!
